Juvéderm in Seattle

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. There are several products in the Juvederm family. They all are used to help people address the facial signs of aging. Each product in the Juvederm line features different bonding and concentrations of hyaluronic acid. The different products are each tailored to target specific problems when injected into different areas and depths. Juvederm fillers have a smooth, gel-like consistency.

The JUVÉDERM range comprises 4 different products, each with its own unique properties:

• JUVÉDERM Ultra XC is fine-tuned to treat moderate to severe wrinkles, deep folds and fine lines in the face and around the eyes. It’s also great for filling moderate to severe lip enhancement.
  The volume-boosting effects of JUVÉDERM Ultra XC last up to 12 months. JUVÉDERM Ultra XC is available in 3 different sizes (5, 7.5 and 10 mg/mL).
• JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC is a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid designed to deliver smoother, more seamless results than other hyaluronic acid fillers on the market. It is indicated for use in the correction of moderate to severe smile lines (nasolabial folds), as well as cheek augmentation or reconstruction.
• JUVÉDERM Voluma XC instantly plumps and rejuvenates your cheeks with youthful volume by filling out deep wrinkles and reducing fine lines in the lower half of your face. The volume-enhancing effects of JUVÉDERM Voluma XC last up to 2 years.
  The unique cross-linked technology creates a stable, predictable result that lasts – so you don’t have to keep coming back for further treatment. JUVÉDERM Voluma XC is available in 2 different sizes (10 and 20 mg/mL).
• JUVÉDERM Vollure XC is filler that instantly smooths the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars all over your body – including your décolletage (cleavage), arms, legs, and hands, after just one treatment session. The anti-aging effects of JUVÉDERM VOLFX last up to 18 months with just 1 treatment session!

Juvéderm and Restylane are both considered noninvasive procedures. This means that no surgery is required for either. They also both use hyaluronic acid to treat wrinkles via volume.

Juvéderm and Restylane have similar long-term results. Juvéderm may work slightly more quickly and, in some cases, may last longer — this comes at a slightly higher cost. Your provider might recommend one filler over another based on your needs and the area being treated.

Juvederm works by adding volume to the facial tissue through its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It stimulates the production of the connective tissue that plumps the skin (collagen). As you get older, the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen decreases. This increases the appearance of sagging and wrinkling of the facial skin.

Juvederm injections contain a small amount of pain-reducing lidocaine. This will help minimize any pain or discomfort you feel during treatment and make it go away quickly.
